Vision-questing in the Mountains: A Practical Guide

Hi!  I am finding it easier to write/publish on Substack.  So here is the link to my latest blogpost, and if you find my writing useful, please consider signing up there.

This is a slightly crazy blogpost — my key point is that “awe” is like protein – the most important macro in your spiritual/mental diet. Whereas social media/AI is like sugary processed food — unfulfilling.
 
All kidding aside, the post explains the practice of vision-questing, borrowing from the ideas of Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist. Plus it contains snapshots of some of the more meaningful experiences during my personal mountain quest.
 
Visions don’t have to be psychedelic, hallucinatory experiences. They can be subtle connections and feelings. I feel like these experiences should form the backbone of our emotional lives, giving us the strength and depth to deal with the pragmatic decisions we’ve got to make every day. But maybe that’s just me — see what you think
